Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier and his partner Dianne Buswell have been seen getting close after they finish yet another gruelling day of rehearsals.
The pair were spotted leaving their London rehearsal studio, with Bobby planting a kiss on Dianne's cheek as they said goodbye. Bobby was dressed down in loose shorts and flip-flops as he got close to his professional dancer partner before they headed their separate ways.
The pair are in good spirits as they prep for Saturday's show with Bobby reported to be enthusiastically shouting: "We are the winners of this year's Strictly Come Dancing 2023!"

The pair, who appeared on Lorraine together a week ago, have also spoken of their close bond both on and off the dancefloor.
Speaking on the ITV daytime show, Bobby explained: "We spend so much time together [in rehearsals] all day every day together." Dianne added: "So if we didn't like each other, that would be an issue!" Bobby then added: "There are times when I don't like you, but then there are times that I love you."

(JAMES CURLEY AND MAGICMOMENTSUK)Yet despite Strictly romance rumours, Bobby is reported to be “absolutely besotted” with model Tillie Amartey. A source exclusively told The Mirror: “Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren’t compatible. There was no big row and, as they have always been on/off, Bobby hasn’t given up. He is doing all the running at the moment. Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio."
They added: “Tillie does really like him, but she is based in Manchester and hasn’t decided if she will come down to see him. She doesn’t want to fall back into something if she thinks it won’t work out for them in the long term."
Bobby has also been marked as 'one to watch' by the Strictly judges and become a favourite to win the show, but not everyone believes he is the next dancing superstar. Former Strictly professional Brendan Cole thinks Bobby Brazier is benefiting from some generous marking from the judging panel in previous weeks.

Giving a nine to Ellie [Leach] and six to Angela when they weren’t that far apart from a dancing ability.
"Bobby [Brazier] got a seven and they messed up the fleckle completely and Bobby looked like he was wearing his PJs! I think she [Angela Scanlon] is one of the better ones in the competition and I hope that next week they do something really amazing. She’s one of my favourite competitors on the show, and probably one of the best signings for a long time."
